Duck!
No, not a command. A statement. Raconteur Theatre seems to be having an odd relationship with ducks lately. What do I mean? Well, we have a character named Duck in Aster, Holger Gunn. And he’s an odd little guy. (Well, not that little, really. He’s well over six feet) Central to the plot, and fascinating, but odd.
But then this past weekend, members of the board and affiliated folks all went out to Gallery Hop in the Short North to pass out ducks. Ducks with our website on them. While wearing inflatable ducks.
It was a tremendous amount of fun, and it helped us to spread the word about the theatre. The main things we learned?
1) If you’re a part of a group of people wearing inflatable duck floatation devices, people will talk to you.
2) If you’re passing out ducks to people on High Street, 100 ducks won’t last very long.
3) It gets cold really quickly in the evenings in May.
The duck experiment was enough of a success that we’ll be out passing ducks once again in the near future. Stay tuned!

May I also add that we learned not to throw ducks across the street to unaware people while yelling, “DUCK!”

Right. I am stunned that we didn’t think of that one in advance. We’re bright people - what the heck were we thinking there?
